Marc Philips, Editor, pdAUDIO. Axpona 2025 show report highlights, “Here’s the reason why I have to single out the Master Fidelity NADAC duo in this magnificent system. I’m sitting down in the room, spacing out to the gorgeous music (I don’t even remember what it was, ‘cuz I was spaced out) and my eyes drifted toward one of those roll-up signs everyone has in their exhibit rooms, and the one for Master Fidelity had a pull quote from a review that compared the sound of the NADAC gear as the most analog-like that reviewer had heard. He even compared it to master tape. Here’s what’s spooky about that–I was thinking the very same thing just a few minutes before. That’s the trending hyperbole among high-end digital audio companies right now, to say that their digital sounds like analog–which is certainly okay by me–and when I have some excellent digital gear in for review I often frame my impressions on that lofty objective. But here’s the truth about Master Fidelity NADAC, which has been confirmed to me by several others at the show who also visited the GTT Audio room, but this system had that elusive presence we always talk about when we listen to vinyl. It’s not surface noise, of course–I’ve been exploring this idea in several of my latest reviews. You can feel this presence more than you can hear it–there is no void where the signal is completely silent, even with the finest grounding devices and power management.”

Excerpts on Master Fidelity
NADAC is a product line that I have known for many years now. In the days when Merging Technologies was producing some serious consumer gear, NADAC 2- and 8-channel DACs set a standard in its day. I have owned an MT NADAC MC-8 (eight channels) for many years now, adding its separate Power Supply unit as a separate box when it became available, which brought some notable improvements.
At the time, I considered it to be one of a few top-o’-the-heap references that I had heard. And the key person there that I knew was the brilliant designer, Dominique Brulhart.
But that was then; this, of course, is now.
In a nutshell: Merging Technologies concentrated more and more over time on its professional designs as the years went by, championing its Ravenna-based network systems and DXD (with and without reconversion to DSD). Increasingly, the consumer side of things with NADAC seemed to become a sideline.
Then Merging Technologies was purchased by the Sennheiser Group in 2022. It was folded into the Sennheiser division, together with other companies like Neumann.
Meanwhile, Dominique Brulhart and his team took up the challenge of the discontinuation of the old MT NADAC with a new company, Master Fidelity.
They have launched a truly revolutionary new DAC + Clock, the Master Fidelity NADAC D DAC and the NADAC C Clock. While not cheap, neither are they the most expensive DAC components out there. Millions of dollars went into the development of a new, true one-bit chip/chipset for the NADAC D, and now that it is available, I can tell you that Dominique and company have produced a design that explores new possibilities in the audio arts.
I got to hear the new Master Fidelity NADAC stack in the reference room 1 at GTT Audio. (Also at Munich, but you have to allow for show conditions there.) The experience over several days with this stack, plus the Vivid Audio Moyas, plus Audionet, plus the Kubala-Sosna Realization loom, plus the Dejitterit SwitchX (more on that soon) resulted in an inescapable conclusion on my part.
The Master Fidelity NADAC D+C stack was absolutely the best that I’ve ever heard. In fact, it joins my very short list of sui generis components. Best of the best…nothing like it.
And you can take that to the bank.
